Conversation with Bill Suttles. In this conversation, ninety-five-year-old American painter Bill Suttles discusses two recent abstract paintings—Crimson Divide and Violet Passage—explaining the decisions, materials, and ideas behind each work.

Rather than simply presenting finished artwork, Bill explains the ideas, techniques, and decisions behind each painting while pointing directly to passages within the work. Throughout the discussion, close-up detail views illustrate the specific textures, marks, and relationships being described.
